from those visits.
- Track record — The lifetime total of 14 Type A and 7 Type B findings is significant for a small 6-bed home operating just over four years, and families should understand these were concentrated earlier in the licensed period rather than spread evenly.
- Recent 3 years — Of the five inspections and one complaint investigation conducted in the past three years, none resulted in Type A or Type B citations, suggesting the home's more recent performance looks meaningfully different from its earlier record.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has been filed over the licensed period, and the single allegation was unsubstantiated rather than confirmed, with zero substantiated allegations lifetime.
- Operating tenure — At 4.3 years licensed, there is a moderate inspection history to draw from, and the shift from a cited early period to a clean recent stretch gives some signal about direction, though it is still a relatively young operating history.
- 1.Can you walk us through what the Type A findings from earlier in the licensing period involved and what corrective actions were taken?
- 2.What changes were made in staffing, training, or care procedures that led to the clean inspections over the past three years?
- 3.Can you share the most recent inspection reports so we can review the specific areas checked, such as medication management and staff training?
